Hi All,

I decided to port all my development from DOS over to Ecomstation (OS/2 Warp 4.52, as I notice Watcom C is also available on this platform too). I noticed there is a port of Nasm as well. I grabbed the latest version I could find, 2.00rc3, but it wont seem to run. I get this:


Please try tomorrow's nightly build. After some serious pain I was able to compile OpenWatcom 1.7.1 instead of 1.6rc2, and it might help.

Otherwise, I suspect we should withdraw the OS/2 build and just have you compile your own from sources using EMX.

-hpa

I have OW 1.7 installed and am willing to give it a go. Is it difficult? Is the EMX stuff really needed? Would it be difficult to compile a native version of Nasm for OS/2 using the source for the DOS version?

I'll also give the new build a go. Thanks!

NASM should just be portable C -- it is in fact, a highly portable program. We just have absolutely zero ability to test the OS/2 build, for obvious reasons.

You *should* be able to simply run:

wmake -f Mkfiles/openwcom.mak os2

Any bug fixes would be highly appreciated before we release 2.00.

Also, as I mentioned, please do try out tomorrow's snapshot (20071128). It should build in about 2 1/2 hours.

-hpa
